COVID-19 RESPONSE HEALTH & SAFETY

Meet the employee Health and Safety Team

HE CITY OF CORAL SPRINGS remains committed to protecting the safety, health and wellbeing of residents in addition to ensuring our continuity of operations. To meet that need, we established Health and Safety Team, to provide support for all departments within our organization and assist management in reporting individual cases, facilitate case management (employee health checks), and track COVID-19 test results to ensure consistent application of Return to Work procedures.

The safety team visited departments throughout the city to explain the proper use of N-95 and surgical masks, reaffirm our safety protocols, coordinate wellness checks, and speak about the importance of mental wellness. The team, which is comprised of (pictured above, left to right) Rebecca Hill, Battalion Chief Chris Bator and Sgt. Carla Miller, have developed policies, procedures and guidelines to best care for our staff.
